Dotcom to move back into mansion

Megaupload millionaire Kim Dotcom will move back into his $30 million mansion after bail conditions for him and his three co-accused were relaxed further by the court today.

At Auckland District Court Judge David Harvey granted Dotcom, Finn Batato, Mathias Ortmann and Bram van der Kolk the bail variations they were seeking, giving them more freedom.

Judge Harvey said Dotcom no longer needed to be electronically monitored and that the flight risk for the men had reduced.

 The men had complied with court orders, Judge Harvey said.

"Trust has not been abused,'' he said.

As part of the altered bail conditions, the four men must surrender their passports, not try to obtain travel documents and must regularly report to police.

Dotcom was delighted with the ruling and said he was looking forward to telling his wife and children the news.

"I'm really happy about the decision and I'm going to comply with everything the court is asking.

"I will be able to move back with my family into our home - the kids and my wife are always asking. I looking forward to that,'' he said.
